Smith, April - Bright White Jackets Lyrics

I'm here holding my tears. Her voice is just so moving!

They've called the doctors
Today's the day
I've lost it finally
And they're putting me away
I'm sure I won't be quite the same
So before I go
I wanted oh I wanted you to know
That a million men in their bright white jackets
Could never erase you from my mind
But when they bring me back to you
And tell you that I'm shiny new
The girl that you see
May not be me behind these eyes
Anymore
I've never loved another
As I've loved you and do still
But I wonder when they're through with me
I wonder if I will
So remember things I've said to you
And say them back to me
And maybe you can rescue me from lunacy
And let million men in their bright white jackets
Try to erase you from my mind
But when they bring me back to you
And tell you that I'm shiny new
The girl that you see
May not be me behind theses eyes anymore
Oh they're making me
They're making me
Take these awful pills
Assuring me they're curing me
Of all my evil ills
They say they're saving me
They're saving me
So they'll have me think
I was fine before they got to me
But now I'm on the brink
Of utter madness
They've called the doctors
Today's the day
I've lost it finally
And they're putting me away
They tried to steal my thoughts
And all my memories of you
But I clung tight to them
Because I always knew
That a million men in their bright white jackets
Could never erase you from my mind
But when they bring me back to you
And tell you that I'm shiny new
The girl that you see may not be me

This song is a masterpiece! Excellent job on the outstanding music video.

Where did April Smith and her band go? She could've been successful but I think they had trouble with funding her/their music. It was four years ago when I discovered this, and I'm still haunted by the fact that this band just disappeared without any trace. Goddamn, what a waste of potential. Their youtube channel even got deleted now. Wtf.

clarinda tan she married her husband Eric and had 3 beautiful kids named Ozzie, emit, and arlo and she is happily retired, but still sings at family events ☺️

@ryan smith oh I didn't know that before. Now I'm glad she's living her life happily, unlike this song that sounded deep and depressing. I still wish she would come back though, I'm a fan from the other half of the planet. 😅

Best part of the song (IMHO) = @2:27-@3:12

Kevin from wtnv anyone?

I love everything has to be w/this beautiful name

I have to dance to this song for competition and there are 7 of us, 1 is a guy and he is the boyfriend dude, and 1 of us girls are the "messed up" one(don't want to say messed up but thats what i think of) so the 5 of us girls are the doctors...this song is REALLY cool to dance to tho

+Lizzie Carr
Did the competition happen? How did the dance go?

+Laura Moore we danced this at 4 competitions this year and still have a couple more performanes but they arent competitions. we placed in 2 of the comps and got 2 high golds, and 2 high golds

\o/ That's cool!

hi sister

+Mckayla Carr this is for Lizzie Carr she is the best

I don't know why, but this song makes me cry a lot...

+AliceMargatr0id me too

Me too :(

April is so amazing! I love the dark lyrics. This one and "Terrible Things" are my favorite songs!

Me too ... on both !!

Two years afterwards... and it's still meaningful.

A stunning talented singer; far better than most of the crap music industry factory wannabees! I have listened to her Great Picture show album and this is the icing on the cake - Superb April, please keep us entertained for years to come...

How the hell does this video only have 47000 views and rebecca crap has over a million? We do so love our car wrecks don't we? Arggg. April Smith is a breath of fresh air that has restored my faith in solid lyric and music writing. The bar has been raised my friends.

I think she is in the springtime of her career. I'm sure it won't be long and we will see a beautiful rose emerge.

1 person is crazy

@SaraANunn not her house we found it the owners let us use it they had a three legged dog shes my aunt im the mail boy

April Smith and the Great Picture show are just a fantastic and under-appreciated band. Their music is so much fun, a little jazz, a little blues, a little rockabilly with a dash of New Orleans and the Gulf Coast.

i could've used this song 3 years ago

i was just told about April....and this video by my sister-in-law's husband. I must say I am so glad I know about her. What a VERY talented young woman with a voice of an angel.....although her songs can be on the dark side. I think those songs are all in good fun. Check her out....you won't be disappointed. I certainly was not!

i'm speechless and crying. this really tears my heart out. BRILLIANT!

1 person needs a straight Jacket STAT!

Creepy at 1:15

wow... like two seconds in i decided that this song was absolutely incredible!!!

i love the ending and how the entire video was played in reverse it was really dynamic and interesting.... it really added power to the message behind the song

@stricklybiz66 I remember the first time I heard this song, it was after I Googled my name (April Smith) and it took me to her site. She is amazing.

just found her music this week. amazing music

So glad there is finally a video of one of April Smith's songs! I have been a fan for about a year now.

Man, what a voice. Gotta catch her at her next Manhattan show.

The Greg Wilkins who helped produce this is not affiliated with the guitar player in my video.

The video just carries you off to another era and another space

You are absolutely amazing April! For your tiny size, you have the lungs the size of a sports stadium! I love you honey. J9

Love this song and am heading to itunes to grab it. Fantastic voice.This girl can sing!

You can get it at iTunes.

hey does anyone have the mp3 for this song?

Hey some guy named Frederic Brehm edited this. My name is Eric Brehm. Lets Brehm some time Fredric. I make movies too. Do people call you Fredric B like they call me Eric B? Do you ever meet Nan?

The vocals kind of remind me of Garbage meets Bjork.. I dig. Plus this gal is an NYC local from Brooklyn so gotta support the homies. Thanks for the recommendation, Ezue! Very well-done vid.. Cool song! =oD

April Smith is the next rage everyone. Get your fill of her at local shows where she will still be available to be seen/hang out with at the awesome venues she plays throughout the tri-state area. Nothing bad can be said about this wonderful, young and last but not least talented artist. Much love April.

Fantastic!!!

Amazing!!

Loved It!!!

april this video is amazing, i got chills.
